In Finland we usually say, that a mother smelling like cinnamon buns, is the best mum. Especially today when both of my kids came home from school with fever and totally exhausted, I could see a sign of happiness in their faces when they smelled the mixture of cinnamon and cardamom. Stomach full with buns, they both fell a sleep in their beds, sick kids with red cheeks and aching bodies.

Here in Austria it´s going to be a rainy evening and night. Candles and a good book could be a terrific idea. Have a cosy evening you too!

The buns look almost exactly like the ones I make and the saying is wonderful. I wonder if there is a similar saying in Sweden, have to ask my boyfriend. I think a home smelling of self baked buns or bread or any other wonderful self made food is something unbeatable. Celebrate life!
